Hi DeCoTwc,

Thanks for your kind comment. I try to explain the best I can because English is not my maternal language and because
I know that is the best way to get appropiate help and that the same problem concept helps somebody else in the future.

Sometime when I do a question I think whether or not add some details because for experience a question that looks long
in explanation has less possibilities to be completely read it and therefore, answered, even when it has an not complex solution.

Nice to know that our questions are not only a way to get help for us, but to contribute to enrich the forum.

PS: I like to use color tools :-)

Best regards
